Drewry, general agent for Vir ginia of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance i Company has Just returned fr;om a trip I to bis former home In Raleigh, N. v., says The Richmond News. Mr. Drewry believes the future of Raleigh to be brigh ter than that of any other town in North Carolina. Speaking of the Improvements now go ing on In the capital of the Old! North Stato, Mr. Drewry said to a reporter of The Richmond News yesterday: "Raleigh is naturally a beautiful city with its state ly oaks, from which came the name, 'City of Oaks.' The streets of the city are well laid off, and in the past few years the citizens have shown their progressive Bpirtt and have appropriated sufficient money to beautify the already beautiful streets and the town is one of the pret tiest In the whole country. The reslden- tlal portion of the city is rapidly ex tending its limits, and now some of the handsomest residences in the State are to be found along the streets of Raleigh. "There is a great opportunity for capi tal In Raleigh. At the present time there la not an Inhabitable house for rent, and the- real estate men are crowded with or ders for new homes. If five hundred hundred houses could be erected within a few days it would not be a question of two weeks before every one of that num ber was occupied. Rents are fairly high, and building property is reasonable, though it has advanced rapidly In the past few years. "The Industrial life of the city equals that of any in North Carolina, with the exception of Charlotte, where there are a greater number of mills, but, socially, Raleigh is not equalled by any city south of Richond." Mr. Drewry has for several years been deeply interested In the progress of Ral eigh and is among the few who deserve the greatest credit for the city's rapid steps forward. GEAR DEAD. Washington, July 14. Senator Gear, of Iowa, died in his apartments at the Port land in this city, this morning. DARING LEAP. 'Pottstown, Pa., July 14.

Johnson, Henry Kleupleburg and V. J. Young, Jr. MET IN LONDON. MlBses Bertha and Lottie Kleuppleburg, of Charlotte, returned yesterday from an extended European tour. They visited many of the famous places in the old countries. Quite a remarkable incident occurred in London just before they start ed for home. They visited Westminster Abbey and In the vast crowd which they found they came suddenly face to face with Mr. and Mrs.' Sam Berwanger, of Raleigh.

HOT GAMES NEXT WEEK All League Teams Play Friday and Saturday CHARLOTTE TEAM GREATLY STRENGTHENED Raleigh Meet Statewide, ' Charlotte and Dnrham The Virginia League Goes to Plecee at Norfolk Next week promises to be the most ex citing yet in baseball circles here. In fact next Friday and Saturday are the only days of the season when all six teams in the league will give games. The schedule for next week Is: Monday and Tuesday, Raleigh at States ville;. Durham. Wednesday and Thursday, Raleigh at Charlotte. Friday, Durham at Raleigh. Saturday, Raleigh at Durham. Monday, Raleigh at Statesville, Dur ham at Wilmington. Tuesday, Raleigh at Staesvllle; Dur ham at Wilmington. . Wednesday, Raleigh at Charlotte; Pur ham at Tarboro. . - . Thursday, Raleigh at Charlotte; Dur ham at Tarboro. Friday, Durham at Raleigh: Tarboro at Wilmington; Charlotte at Statesville; Raleigh at Durham; Tarboro at Wilming ton; Charlotte. at Statesville. Next week the Raleigh team leaves for the west and they will then encounter the Charlotte nine. Charlotte is now stand ing at the foot of the list, but her team is being rapidly strengthened. The Virginia League has disbanded, their last game is played today. There Is some talk of the Norfolk and Portsmouth teams applying for admission into the League of this State, but if the Virginia League was not a success with four of the competing team in a close radius of each other, then nothing could be gained by their Joining this League. It has also been reported that the Dur hnmc management was ready to take the entire Norfolk team. Whether this Is true remains to be seen. Many of the players in the Virginia League may pos sibly find places and sign with some of the North Carolina teams. The Durham Herald discussing he pro test of Tarboro over the Tarboro-Durj' ham game, says: . , "It is not unusual for people to protest against overwhelming defeat. If Tarboro has anything to "protest" against It should be her own team for allowing Durham to make ten runs In one Inning. There is no other tenable cause for com plaint." GAME TODAY. Raleigh and Tarboro are at it again this afternoon at the ball grounds, and it is hard to predict the winner, but the Raleigh sports believe that the home team will win, at any rate it will be a warm game. Both teams are crack-a-jacks. . The game yesterday was a peach, and although Raleigh lost the game by a score of 2 to 1, yet, the team put up a game to be proud of. The new men who went in the game for Raleigh are O. K., and the team is in splendid trim. With the addition of another strong pitcher the Raleigh team will be the real thing. Bass pitched good ball yesterday, so did Jordan of the visiting team. Bur banks, of the home team, made thefiret- tiest catch of the season In center field. The line-up of the teams today is the same as yesterday, except Quick is in the box for the Raleigh team, and Vorhees for the Tarborites. A big crowd is wit nessing the game this afternoon. The following account of the Wilmington-Charlotte game of yesterday In today's Charlotte Observer is of special interest because of its allusion to two Raleigh men and the new players on the team Raleigh must meet next week: . CHARLOTTE AGAIN DEFEATED. Wilmington, July 13. Charlotte was easily defeated in the second game with Wilmington today. The playing of the Presbyterians was slow and listless and from the drat Inning there was no doubt as to the final result of the game. The first man up for the sailors was hit by a pitched ball. This was followed by a single and a home run over left field fence. Three men scored. From the first the Charlotte boys were unable to solve Bat tle's puzzling delivery, all their hits be ing scattered. Battle is a young pitcher of the University of North Carolina and promises to make a star twirler. : The teams suffered again today from an Incompetent umpire Upchurch being unable to arrive in the city. In tomor row's game a player from each team will act as umpires. Oldham returns from Norfolk tomor row with Pitcher Allen, of the Ports mouth, Va., team. Allen wil Ibe in the box for Charlotte tomorrow. Chambers, of Rome, Ga., has also been signed by tho Charlotte manager.

Mr. Broughton does not think when the canvass is com plete that there will be hardly a Demo crat in the county against the amend ment. Mr. Joseph Blake said: "I never saw finer crowds.

BY A SWINDLER Coffin Delivered But no One Dead There FELLOW BUYS A COFFIN TO GET THE BILL Had a Death Notice Published ia the Time Visitor and It Now Appears that No One Was Dead. The Times-Visitor recently published the following notice: Died The flve-year-bld daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pollard, on Betts street, this morning. The body will be carried to their former home in Laurinburg tomor row for interment. That death notice was printed in good faith and thereon hangs a tale. A re porter of the Times-Visitor that morning dropped Into the establishment of Mr. Jno. W. Brown, and while there a young white man came in and asked for a coffin. He then gave the Times-Visitor reporter the notice as above published. The fel low was apparently about twenty-four and fairly well dressed. He finally se lected the coffin he wanted and asked Mr. Brown to give him a bill for it since he would have to call on friends for the money. He said that he had been in hard luck and needed assistance. Mr. Ed. Brown and Mr. John Brown both gave him something on the bill. The coffin iselectede was priced tlO. The fellow gave directions as to where Mrs. Pollard lived on Betts street, between Blount and Person. The house was not number ed, he said. The coffin was properly fixed up and sent that afternoon to the place previous ly direoted. However, after being gone an hour Mr. Brown's driver returned and he had the coffin with him. The driver, reported that there was no such person as Pollard on Betts street, and that no body was dead in that neighborhood. This affair remained a mystery until a few days later when it was discovered that the fellow had carried the bill for the coffin around town and begged money for himself with it. This is a new swindling game; It is the first time Mr. Brown has sold a coffin to a man when he had no neeed for it. AGED PILGRIM. An Old Mau Walking from Greenwood to Windsor.
